Clinical Consultation Service: support for complex questions

When you encounter challenging STI‑related cases, you can access expert input through the NNPTC Clinical Consultation Service. This service is intended for healthcare professionals and STD program staff across all U.S. states and territories.

How it helps:

Case‑based clinical consultation grounded in current evidence

Responses typically provided within 1–5 days, depending on urge

Decision‑support that complements—rather than replaces—your local expertise and state STD program guidance

Consultations are advisory in nature and do not constitute medical advice or direct patient care. Final clinical decisions always remain with you, the healthcare provider.

Your role in advancing clinical excellence

By engaging with these training and consultation resources, you are contributing to a national effort to improve STI prevention and care. Whether you are refining your clinical skills, seeking guidance on complex cases, or strengthening systems of care within your organization, these tools exist to support your leadership and expertise.

ASTDA serves as a guide—connecting you to trusted resources so you can focus on what matters most: delivering high‑quality, patient‑centered STI care.
